Research Consultations: Get Your Research Going

Welcome to Fall Semster Week 10! 

The leaves on the trees are changing color. Starbucks is selling pumpkin spice lattes. And your professors are assigning research papers, reports, presentations, debates, annotated bibliographies, and more.

We're two-thirds of the way through Fall Semester; hopefully you've already completed all the research you need to do for your big end of semester assignments.

What's that?
You haven't started your research and/or you're feeling stuck? You are not alone!

If you're working on a research assignment and want some extra help, schedule a research consultation with a librarian. Research can be challenging. Sometimes you find too much information. Sometimes you find too little. Or maybe you don't even know where to start.

Librarians can help you refine a research topic, find sources, and show you how to cite your sources. Scheduling an individual meeting with a librarian can be the best way to learn how to use databases you're unfamiliar with, or find sources for a particularly tricky topic.

To schedule a research consultation, go to the library homepage, and click the Research Appointment link in the Ask us Anything box (in the lower left-hand corner of the page).

Don't wait until it's too late. Your paper that's due in December may seem like it's a long way off, but it'll be finals week before you know it. Schedule your research consultation today!
